Max's point of view

   I felt that tickly sensation inside me for the rest of the evening, in which we just stayed there, looking up at the sky and talking about some random stuff.

   Now Alex is about to go and I have no idea of how to say goodbye. A hug? A simple wave and a smile?

   But Alex leans in before I can even process it and he hugs me tight.

   "I'll talk to you later." I tell him and he nods, slowly tearing apart.

   "Cool." He smiles and then he walks into the hotel, leaving me right there.

Max
Today was fun

Alex
Yeah, it really was

Alex
Thank you for showing me your little hidden place

Max
Nah, no problem

Max
What are you up to?

Alex
Nothing really, I'm just lying in bed

Alex
You british people have some nice mattresses

Max
British quality babe

Alex
Babe?

Max
It was just part of the joke, you know

Alex
Yeah yeah

Alex
It's just that it doesn't sound that bad

Max
Alex

Alex
I know, just friends

Alex
But even with that I can't stop my feelings for you so easily

Max
You still like me?

Alex
Hell yes, and even more now

Alex
Just let me get used to it not being mutual, k? See you tomorrow, Yellow

Max
Night, Purple

   Sleeping that night was hard.
